Unidentified Aboriginal Australian children performing in a band, outside The Bungalow at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station. The Bungalow was an institution for Aboriginal children removed from their communities during the Stolen Generations. The Bungalow existed as an entity in three locations, Alice Springs (1914-1925), Jay Creek (1925-1932) and Alice Springs Telegraph Station (1932-1942). The children living at these sites experienced rough living conditions including overcrowding, food and water insecurity, inadequate sanitation and sexual assault. The historical Department of Information caption for this photograph refers to the institution as a "half caste compound".
